Web Design Inspiration Curated

Partners for Our Children

Partners for Our Children is one of those sites that has great purpose, yet may not be seen as 'cool'. Being in public service or government related areas sometimes makes organizations think they are alleviated from the 'burden' of good design, but we have seen many...

Grimm Brothers Brew House

I love just about everything on this website. I luuuurve the illustration work for the bottle labels. On the site itself I really dig the simple layout and colors, I especially like the fly out illustrations as you scroll down too. Now, if I could only try one of...

NY.gov

Finally - really good state government website for New York (I hear RFPs being typed out for other states as you read... well we can dream right?) Great organization and really visually established sections. I'm curious about the billboard, cardish design slider -...

Quotery

I'm a quote person - have them delivered daily to my interweb mail portal. The Quotarty looks pretty fun - looks like a very updated and organized quote site, compared to the normal, spammy, 1996 quote sites that, well have been around since 1996 (yes there are ads on...

The Nation

We've seen a lot of "newspaper / magazine" type site launches this year - and cool to see America's oldest weekly magazine do the same. Like the top story categories at the top of the page (think they change as big issues do). Really like the feel and flow of the main...

My Car Does What

Pretty cool site from the National Safety Council, called My Car Does What?: "MyCarDoesWhat.org is a national campaign to help educate drivers on new vehicle safety technologies designed to help prevent crashes. These technologies range from increasing the stability...

Super Top Secret

Dang. Enough said. @wearetopsecret

Radar #100

In this week's 100th Radar (yay us): Safari is the new IE What’s Different About User Experience Design for the Internet of Things? Stop Sprinkling Emotion, Start Creating Magic and Meaning Market - Best Tools for Everyone Style Guides Every Startup Should See in the...

Studio D

Really like this Studio D Photographers site out of Canada. A lot of moving parts through out the site and the blog - and I think it's playing off of a newer color trend (red, black, off-white so we can start to get away from teal and magenta..). Very cool to see that...

UNIITI

We've reviewed Uniiti's work out of France before - this looks like their recommendation app for restaurants and other services. Apparently the footer landscape image changed. Last night it was a dark sky with a rocket ship and this morning it's a bright day near the...

Helen V. Holmes

Designer Helen Holmes' site is a little different than most portfolios - and from the content on the site - I'm guessing Helen Holmes is too - in this world - that's a good thing! The site is light, and in parts asymmetrical, and just generally has a cool vibe....

Fighting Illini

Love to see sports sites being redesigned over the past couple of years - like this one for the Fighting Illini, in, well, Illini country. It's device sensitive, and looks big and bold on both desktop and mobile. I'm not a big fan of sticky headers with sticky footers...

Axwell Ingrosso

Ok - I don't know who Axwell and Ingrosso are (musicians out of Sweden who play every Wednesday in Ibiza) - but my girls liked their video and music when I played it for them this morning (good message btw). Their website, designed by @kaleidco, is pretty bold -...

Slick Design

Love the opening and closing imagery for Slick Design out of Perth - the movement on the page is pretty cool too (would actually like to see more of it all the way through). From the Designer: This is a beautiful, sleek website that reflects the client's brand....

Jekyll

I'm not always a huge fan of super dark websites like these, but in this case there are some pretty great parts. I like the gold mixed in with the dark vibe. I like the second section, under the hero/video area a great deal. I really like how it loads in. I'm not a...

Adrian Balkwill

Cool portfolio site from Adrian Balkwill out of Ontario - like his work and his call to action at the bottom of the work pages. (also - love the Mario favicon) From the Designer: I have been working on this site and rather like it and I hope you do too. Submitted by:...

Clínica Good Hope

Really cool design for the Clínica Good Hope (out of Peru) - especially for a hospital. A lot of flat icon and illustration work here - and interesting points of navigation/sub-nav through out. It's mobile friendly too - out pacing many hospitals here in the US. From...

Fivefootsix

Interesting twist on mixing a large hero/video area and a slider like interaction. The home page scrolls well into the about section, I think it works pretty well actually. Simply because they don't hide the nav under a hamburger nav and just lay it out. I do love the...

Skyfox Design

Very interesting take on "pages" for a website. I do like the concept here, I also like the fact that the designer is willing to push the limits visually with this and actually use it in production. Bravo and good stuff. From the Designer: I think this website is...

Space City JS

Website for the Space City JS conference in Houston. I like the play between the name and Houston! This site isn't like a traditional web conference site, it doesn't do what you'd expect and put the images of the speakers front and center. I like that. I like that...
